Developing Scalable Apps in Java

You will learn about challenges of building applications that can serve hundreds of thousands of users, and how you can prepare for them as a developer. And more importantly - you will learn how to harness the power of App Engine - Platform as a Service, run by Google, so you can focus on your application's features, not on managing infrastructure that runs your app. Let Google run and scale the infrastructure and do what you do best - write code!

However, to use App Engine effectively, you have to learn how it works, and this is exactly what this course will teach! You will also learn the best practices of using Cloud Endpoints that allow you to easily create RESTful services and make them accessible to iOS, Android and Javascript clients. They allow you to automatically generate client libraries to make wiring up the frontend easy. And there are some nifty built-in features, like denial-of-service protection and OAuth 2.0 support.

Prerequisites and Requirements: You should be fairly comfortable programming in Java, preferably with some experience developing web applications and working with databases for at least a year. You will be developing the backend of a sample app, so you don’t have to worry about HTML or JavaScript.You should have sufficient permissions to install new software on your computer, and comfortable configuring it, including setting up system variables.We will be using Maven and Eclipse for this course, and we strongly suggest that you use them as well.See the for using Udacity.
